Mephit-Head Arrow

The steel head of this masterwork arrow is sculpted to look like a leering mephit. If a mephit-head arrow hits, it sprays elemental energy in a 15-foot cone that must originate from the target creature (including the creature struck) and expand in the direction the arrow was fired. The damage dealt depends on the type of mephit-head arrow, as detailed below. A successful DC 13 Reflex save halves the cone’s damage and negates any additional effect.

Air Mephit: A blast of wind-borne grit deals 1d8 points of slashing damage.

Dust or Salt Mephit: A spray of fine grit or coarse salt crystals deals 1d4 points of slashing damage and sickens targets in the cone for 3 rounds.
